03/25/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Rocky previously lived with 1 adult and children ages 3, 6, and 8 years old. The owner stated when around the children Rocky is relaxed and plays exuberantly. The owner describes Rocky as friendly, affectionate, playful, confident, mellow, and excitable. The owner mentioned Rocky is house trained, has a medium activity level and is well behaved when home alone. At intake it was reported rocky was friendly and allowed all handling. During SAFER Rocky came into the assessment room tense, he was not interested with the assessor. Handling items were not conducted as Rocky growls, lunges and try to bite at the assessor when attempting to leash him. He displayed no interest in the toy item during this portion of the assessment. In light of this behavior we feel that placement with a rescue who can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time. Toy 1: No interest. Dog-dog: Rocky was abled to be collared today. When greeting at the fence he barked, bounce, lunged and appeared extremely anxious. When entering the pen he attempted to charge the helper dog but was held back and allowed to approach again. He continued his hyper-motivated approach, all while barking and lunging.
